There is a growing number for whom flying privately has become an absolute must. Be it the comfort and privacy that it offers, or simply the availability of flights at critical times, these passengers know that private flights offer a lot that commercial airlines simply can’t.
However, there are still many who’ve never considered the possibility that flying in a private jet could be for them, instead of thinking that it’s simply a luxury that they can’t afford, and that they have no need for it. Neither of these is true. Below, we examine ten reasons why these people would prefer flying private (even if they might not realize it yet).
Flight cancellations
Flight cancellations and delays are a common inconvenience with commercial airlines. Private jets don’t necessarily have the same restrictions as commercial jets when it comes to flight plans and airports, so canceled and delayed flights are far less of an issue.
Flight scheduling
It’s never appealing to have to wake up at 3 in the morning in order not to miss that flight at 6. Or have to waste those extra hours in your destination city because there are no flights scheduled closer to your meeting. The scheduling flexibility offered by private jets is a massive advantage, especially for business travelers without a minute to waste.
The food
For some people, the food on board the flight can make or break the experience. If this is you, you’ll appreciate private flights’ ability to cater to your specific food and beverage requests. This is also particularly important for people who have allergies to certain ingredients.
Urgent flights
Anyone who has to make an urgent flight would undoubtedly prefer the ease and availability of a private aircraft charter. Immediately getting a flight is often stressful, and sometimes not even possible, on commercial airlines.
Layovers
For long trips, commercial airline passengers are often stuck with inconvenient layovers that are long enough to be boring, yet too short to go out and enjoy the city. This is another way flying privately could save you a great amount of time.
Comfort
The comfort of flying private jet charter – not only on the flight itself but also in your experience while waiting for the plane and boarding – is unrivaled.
Class
Arriving via private jet is associated with a certain status, which could be important if you want to create an impression for yourself or your company.
Privacy
It’s a level of privacy that not even first-class seats on commercial flights can match. For families flying with a baby or toddler, not having to worry about the little one’s crying bothering other passengers during long trips is invaluable.
Safety
In many cases a large part of the hesitation to try private jet charters arises from concerns over safety. But there’s really no need to be worried – a good aircraft charter services would adhere to strict safety programs regarding the operations of its flight carriers.
The airport experience
From long queues to ticketing hassles, and lost baggage – there are times when flying in regular airlines makes the trip a nightmare before you’re even on the plane. Flying privately offers a much less stressful, as well as quicker, airport experience.
